SAAB has released its first new car since it went bankrupt in 2011 putting 6,000 workers on to the unemployment lines.
It was bought out of Bankruptcy in 2012 by the National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB group (NEVS) and the new 9-3 Aero is their first offering.
Despite being “electric”, the first 9-3 Aero’s are petrol powered, though an electric version is planned for later when “electric cars fully meet customer demands,” said Mattias Bergman, the acting President of SAAB.
SAAB has many followers throughout the world, with its history going back to 1937 when it began making planes, and then spun off the auto side in 1947. Its backers have been numerous, with the last two, GM and Spyker, both going into bankruptcy. Let us hope NEVS does better with the brand!
